Last week, my friend Kristel challenged me to share my top 15 movies in 15 minutes at Facebook. Apparently, this has been going around for quite sometime and I found it pretty interesting to see what makes up my friends’ top 15. When I posted mine, I suddenly realized that I have quite a broad range in terms of timeline but not genre. I wasn’t able to explain why these movies made it to my top 15 but I’m posting it here plus my reasons why they’re my favorite. Humor me, pretty please.

Aikko a.k.a. Bake Happy Blogger’s Top 15 Movies in 15 Minutes – in no particular order. I always wanted to say “Aikko a.k.a. Bake Happy Baker’s, but it kinda sounds redundant right? Anyway, I digress. Here you go.
1. How to Train your Dragon – because it’s an unlikely story of friendship. I love the last moments of the movie, makes me tear up every time.
2. Gone with the Wind – I had a headache the first time I watched it, but watched it again (and again) and made me appreciate it even more. How they made a move as grand as this in 1939 is beyond me. Deserves a standing ovation every time I watch it.
3. Frozen – Frozen is a runaway winner, it always shows up in everyone’s list. It’s on mine because it is a story of a great love between two sisters.
4. It Happened One Night – One of the only two movies I own on my iTunes. This movie made in 1934 is hands down my favorite movie – EVER. Urban legend has it that this movie is the reason why men’s undershirt declined in sales during that time.
5. Enchanted – I do a commentary to my sister every time we catch this on TV.
6. Million Dollar Baby – made me take up boxing but had to quit because of knuckle problems.
7. She’s Dating the Gangster – Richard and Dawn, Daniel and Kathryn 
8. A Moment to Remember – Want to have a good cry? I highly recommend this.
9. Sixteen Candles – two words, Jake Ryan.
10. Arsenic and Old Lace – again, two words, Cary Grant.
11. The Abyss – “Knew this was a one-way ticket, but you know I had to come. Love you, wife.”
12. Signs – the only M. Night Shyamalan movie I really really liked.
13. Pitch Perfect – made me a fan of Anna Kendrick. Can’t wait to see her on The Last Five Years.
14. The Sound of Music – this deserves to be on everyone’s list. Do-Re-Mi is the only piece I can play on the piano.
15. Daddy Long Legs – because it is my favorite book, the movie version has to be on this list. Jerusha is just too relatable.

Because it’s top 15 in 15, there are some favorites that I missed, The Proposal, that gesture Andrew made when he and Margaret stepped out of the grocery store after she got her new phone is love. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the scene were Willy sang Pure Imagination is every child’s dream of how a chocolate factory should look like. Breakfast at Tiffany’s – one word, Givenchy.

So what does this have to do with Red Velvet Crinkles, you ask? Because if I would be asked to list my top 15 Desserts in 15 Minutes, this has to be included. Chewy and moist, red velvet in crinkle form is just to delicious to pass up. When you make some, pretty please send me a pic, I hope you would love this crinkle recipe as much as I did.

So, red velvet crinkles, how exactly are they made? Let’s start by sifting together all dry ingredients – flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. You can either dry whisk or sifting them through a strainer, whichever you prefer is fine. Do the same for the wet ingredients, the evaporated milk, vanilla, vinegar, and red food color. You can use fresh milk or full cream milk instead of evap in case those are the ones you have on hand. And, you can use cane vinegar or white vinegar, whichever is fine. After assembling the dry and white ingredients, cream together sugar and oil until well combined.

Add in the whole egg plus the yolk.

Add in the wet ingredients.

Lastly, gradually add in the dry ingredients.

The red velvet crinkles cookie batter should now look like this. Now, at this point we should all exercise patience. We are not there yet, we need to cover the batter and refrigerate it for at least four hours or overnight. #wecandothis

See, we did it!!! After four hours, get an ice cream scoop if you have it. I love using the .25 oz scoop for my cookies, this is the 1 1/2 teaspoon sized one to make sure I have evenly sized cookies. Dunk the cookies in powdered sugar and bake at 350F for 7 minutes or until done.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg + egg yolk
- 1 1/2 tsp evaporated milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 2 tsp liquid red food color
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Assemble team dry ingredients – flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
- Assemble team wet ingredients - evaporated milk, vanilla, vinegar, red food color.
- Cream together sugar and oil until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and egg yolk.
- Add wet ingredients then gradually add in the dry ingredients.
- Cover the bowl with cling wrap and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
- Using a .25 oz (1 1/2 teaspoon) ice cream scoop, roll the cookie dough into balls and coat with powdered sugar.
- Bake at 350F for 7 minutes or until done.

Hope you’ll love these cookies as much as I do.
Love,
Aikko

Regarding this red velvet crinkles it sounds cool and interesting. Since I’ve tried already the original crinkle recipe just want to know the final output of this one. Were the softness and moist the same? Thanks again…

Hi Ms. Aiko,
Can I use cake flour instead of APF?
Thank you
Yes of course, Lei!
Cheers
Aikko
Was hesitant at first because you didn’t use butter unlike other recipes but this is the best so far. so moist and perfect shape. Thank you!!
Bakit walang butter sa recipe nyo po? sa ibang recipe na nakita ko meron?
Hi Aiko, for the vinegar, can i use white distilled vinegar?
Lovely site! I just got a new hand mixer and my first project is this. The batter is now sitting in the refrigerator. It’s 11:22pm now and I can’t sleep thinking about the cookies will come out tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for this! 😀
Hi Ms. A, what kind of vinegar will you recommend?thanks
And follow up, is it ok to use powdered milk rather than evap milk? thanks
Hi Ms. Aikko ive tried baking red velvet crinckles but unfortunately it turn out hard.. :).. but i tasted it. masarap naman kaso nga lng matigas lng sya..
whats wrong kaya sa ginawa ko.. is it the vinegar, i followed naman the directions.. maybe ill try again..
First time to try a recipe from your blog Aikko. This baby is already at the ref chillin’ like a villain. Hopefully it turns out well, like how you did it.
Hi ms. Aikko,
What would be the difference if butter ang ginamit? Thanks!
I actually made one already in the fridge. Just want to know.
Hi ms akiko… Can i used this recipe sa choco crinkles..
Hi Ms. Aikko, ask ko lang kung anong vinegar ginamit niyo? Thanks!
Hi Miss Aikko! I made these lovely red crinkles this afternoon and it was a hit! We’re planning to make a huge batch of these for the coming Christmas as our giveaways. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
Hi xen! Did u preheat the oven before baking them? Baked it yesterday but it turned out a bit hard.
Hi miss Anne. Yes I did prehet the oven at 350°. 😀
It is correct about the milk..kasi it was so dry…..fail ang nagawa ko..salamat
Hi ms aikko, I tried your redvelvet crinkles recipe. I just wanna ask, my mixture came out starchy or stiff? and I really have no idea why. I tried to double the yield measure but I’m sure my measurements was ok.. Hope you can help me.. I want to make this for christmas giveaways. Thankyou!
Hi po,
I just wanna ask, is it really 1 1/2 tsp of evap milk po ba? kasi po nung ginagawa ko po sya sobra pong dry, para na po syang cookies? I compare po yung the sa pic nyo, ang layo po. haha. sobra pong dry na ang tigas po.
Thank you.
Hi ate aikko, matagal na po kasi akong nagbabake, kaso di ko po maperfect :3 medyo matigas po yung bread, di naman po na over mix at finollow ko naman po yung time at temperature
ano po ba problem?
Hi Ms Aikko,

Hi.
this is my first time to do a red velvet crinkles, is it alright to use vegetable shortening instead of oil? or will it make a big difference?
(particularly the Crisco vegetable shortening)
thanks so much
Hi Ms. Aikko! Your red velvet crinkles recipe is a hit! So love your recipes
Thank you!
Hi Aikko,
Thanks for sharing your recipes. I’ve only tried the banana bread recipe and it was lovely! It encouraged me to try most of your recipe here. I also want to know where did you buy your cooling rack and if you dont mind, how much is it? Thank you so much, looking forward to your reply
Hi po mam Aikko.. thankyou for generously sharing your recipes. I would like to ask din po kung pwede i sub ung fresh milk sa evap? Thankyou in advance po sa reply.
yes you may
Hi! So I’ve tried red velvet cupcakes before but this’ll be my first to try it on crinkles. I’m just going to do a double check on the vinegar; is it really vinegar or apple cider vinegar?
Does it even have different effects? I have extra apple cider vinegar at home so I’m hoping it’ll be possible if I use that instead 😀
and unsweetened po ba dapat yung cocoa? thanks 😀
Yes
for me, no difference. I used red cane on this on
okay, thanks! 😀 will be trying this one of these days
Craving one of these red velvet crinkle cookies right now, they look so moorish and addictivley delicious!
Hi I’m a follower of yours and I’ve tried a number of your recipes. I tried this red velvet crinkles recipe but it’s a bit dry. I thought I did something wrong so I tried it again the next day. Same thing. It’s dry. I wish I could post a picture here so you can see. What’s wrong kaya? I really want to make this crinkles since my sister loves red velvet and crinkles
I make your red velvet crinkles, si undo ko nmn procedure, bkit di nag crack and d ng expand yung crinkle ko?
Hi Ms. Aikko,
I tried this recipe and it was so yummy. Just want to ask kung ilan days ang itatagal sa room temp? If lalagyan po ng cream cheese need po ba nasa ref? Thank you!
Hi Ms. Aikko,
Can i ask po if what type of vinegar you used.
Thank you
Bakit po ang dry ng batter? Tapos po ang tigas nya..Tama naman po ung measurement na nagawa ko

Na-try ko po ung chocolate crinkles nyo masarap po nagawa ko po sya
